TATA MEGAPIXEL : The electric car


A Concept Car With 100 KM Per Litre Mileage.Tata megapixel is a concept of of car with 100 km per litre.And can run upto 900 km on 1 hour battery charge.
At a time when fuel conservation is becoming imperative across the world, Tata Motors is aiming to make a car, Tata Megapixel, which can deliver up to 100 kilometres from a litre of fuel (under battery only power).
Tata Motors  presented 82nd Geneva Motor Show the Tata Megapixel, a new four-seater, city-smart global range extended electric vehicle (REEV) concept for the performance-seeking and environment-conscious motorist anywhere in the world. Combining a lithium ion phosphate battery and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move, the Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to 900km (with a single tank of fuel), path-breaking CO2 emission of just 22gm/km and fuel economy of 100km/litre (under battery only power)








ELECTRIC CHARGING

The best feature the the Tata company is providing in The Tata megapixel is that its manages to charge 80 per cent of charging in just first 30 minutes of plugged in. The batteries can be recharged by an induction plate at the bottom of the car. When charge runs out, an auxiliary engine comes to the rescue. This is a 325cc single cylinder petrol engine that makes 30 bhp.
The car’s electric drive has four independent electric motors, one at each wheel. When parking, the electric hub motors drive the wheels in opposite directions, while the front wheels are turned at an acute angle, enabling an exceptional 2.8 metre turning radius. The at-home charging system is an innovative induction charging system. The car has simply to be parked over the induction pad for charging to begin.
The Tata Megapixel is powered by combining  four electric motors, each of which is hub-mounted, thus transmitting power to the wheels. These motors are powered by a 13 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery pack and an on-board petrol engine generator for recharging on the move these lithium-ion phosphate battery allows the Megapixel to travel for 87 km on a full charge. The Tata Megapixel offers a range of up to 900km (with a single tank of fuel), path-breaking CO2 emission of just 22 gm/km and fuel economy of 100 km/liter (under battery only power).
The company, which surprised the world with ‘Rs.1 lakh car' Nano, on Tuesday unveiled the concept vehicle, which is a four-seater global range extended electric vehicle (REEV), meant for city driving.
The new innovation from the house of Tatas is likely to be commercially launched in around three years from now.

  • 13 kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery which charged up-to 80% in the first 30 min.
  • Along with battery its having 325cc petrol engine.
  •  It has four independent electric motors, one at each wheel.
